Articles of Interest

First choice:
Sidereus Nuncius - Page has only one amassed section, would like to separate and expand greatly.

Alternate Choices:
2) Harmonice Mundi - Content is minimal, needs expansion.
3) Somnium - Few sections, each with few sentences, needs expansion.

All three of these are great choices. Whichever one you do, I'd suggest getting in touch with Kerry Magruder, the curator of the History of Science Collections. He is something of an authority on each of these, and is more importantly in charge of very nice digital images from the first two. I think you'd be able to use these wonderful images to make the articles better, but you'd need to get permission from him first. There are plenty of sources for each, but if you need any help, let me know. Kirwanfan (talk) 14:00, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Summary of Intended Work

Table of Contents: Telescope, Content (Subcategories: Moon, Stars, Medicean Stars (Moons of Jupiter)), Reception, Controversy with the Church, Translations.

My plan for this article is to touch briefly on the content of the book itself, but mostly cover the reactions and feedback that the book received. Since the content is common knowledge in the 21st century, I believe this article could most benefit others by displaying how the book was received during the time period by the common people, the church, and astronomers to come.
